My purpose is to help organizations build software better. That means working with people to combine in-house knowledge with my expertise to transform groups into high performance teams. I began my professional IT career in 1987 and I have been involved in both small and large solutions for the public and private sectors. As an early adopter of Extreme Programming and Agile methods, I have been pushing the original boundaries of XP by meeting the real needs of the business world in the trenches. The core of my approach is "Your software development process must support the people and goals of the project and organization." I have helped define realistic customer roles as well as integrating QA, UI Design, Database Administration and Project Management into agile teams all with a focus on the practical over the theoretical.
